MODULE PREFERENCE FORMS

Dear student,

With the Module Preference Form (MPF) below you can register for the modules of your
choice in the Exchange Programme. Please clearly fill in your name and the name of
your university and tick the courses of your choice.
Please note that, for the 1st semester (August 2010- January 2011) you will need to have
registered before 1st June 2010. If your MPF is received later than that, we cannot
guarantee you a place in the exchange courses of your choice. For 2nd semester students
(January 2011 – July 2011) the registration deadline is 1st December 2010 .
We will always do our best to avoid clashes. However, in a number of cases, especially
now that courses from other English-language programmes can be chosen as well,
clashes may occur. We advise students to choose 6 modules and indicate their
preference using 1 – 6 (1 meaning highest preference) so that alternatives are taken into
account in case of oversubscription, clashes or overlaps. We advise a study load of 30 –
37,5 credits but please do not register for more than 6 modules.
Should you wish to register for a module from the other English language programmes,
please be aware usually not more than 5 – 10 students can join. Places are allocated on
first-come-first-served basis.
.

In case you have any other queries, please do not hesitate to contact me via:

Student cards
At the beginning of your stay at our school, each student must collect his/her student
card from the International Office (Ruitenberglaan 26, room A0.02). This card is
proof of enrolment at Arnhem Business School, and thus functions as an ID card. You
will be given access to examinations only if you can present this card.
Furthermore, this card is also a chip card, which you need to be able to pay in the
shop and canteen. Readers, stationery, other products from the shop and photocopies
can be paid with this card as well as food and drink in the canteen. Losing the card
means losing the credit amount on it!

Information on exams and grades


The Exam Office does not provide any information on grades.
You can check your grades on the computers located on the first floor.
The exam schedule will be posted on the notice board next to room E1.14 and will be

grades of all exams of the period concerned have been processed.

4. ORGANISATION OF STUDY PROGRAMMES

4.1. Study programmes at Arnhem Business School

In general, an undergraduate student at Arnhem Business School studies for eight


semesters. The first two semesters, called General Foundation Year, offer a very large
variety of subjects and thus give the student a chance to orientate on the diverse fields
of economics. The student chooses a field he wants to specialise in. The specialist
study takes three more years.

The study programmes Arnhem Business School offers are:

AC Accountancy
BE Business Economics/ Finance and Accounting
FSM Financial Services Management
CE Marketing
CO Communication
IBMS International Business and Management Studies
IBL International Business and Languages
FE Fiscal Economics
LE Business Logistics
MER Management, Economics and Law
SB Small Business and Retail Management
F&B Food & Business
HR Law (at the level of University of Professional Education)
FM Facility Management

Several of these study programmes are also offered as part-time studies.

In September 2004, English language programmes (up till then only offered in the
IBMS) were started up for some of the above Dutch programmes. Arnhem Business
School now also offers English language Bachelor programmes in:
Communication
Finance and Accounting,
Human Resources and Quality Management
Logistics
We have extended the modules on offer for exchange students with modules from
these programmes. Please refer to the module descriptions in section 5.16 for further
information. On arrival students are always free to see the Exchange Programme
Coordinator to discuss possible options outside the exchange programme. Please be
aware this may lead to clashes and overlaps in timetables and exam schedules.

4.2. Opening hours, lecture hours and timetables

The opening hours of the locations relevant for Exchange students are as follows:
During lecture and examination weeks:
MON. thru FRI.: 08:15 - 18:15 hours and
TUE. / THU.: 17:00 - 21:30 hours

10
Exchange Programme lecture hours are as follows:

1. 08.45 - 09.30
2. 09.30 - 10.15
BREAK 10.15 - 10.30
3. 10.30 - 11.15
4. 11.15 - 12.00
5. 12.00 - 12.45
6. 12.45 – 13.30
7. 13.30 - 14.15
8. 14.15 – 15.00
BREAK 15.00 - 15.15
9. 15.15 - 16.00
10. 16.00 – 16.45
11. 16.45 – 17.30
12. 17.30 – 18.15

A timetable is composed for each period which is available via Insite-HAN. Each
student can draw up his/her timetable based on the modules chosen via the Module
Preference Form. You are required to return this form before 1st June 2010 (1st
semester) and 1st December 2010 (2nd semester).
As only a limited number of students can be placed in each group, a student might
have to take a module at a time that does not suit him/her perfectly (for example a
student might be free except for 2 lecture hours in the afternoon). This is a
consequence of the free choice of modules, which we think is important to cater to the
needs of the exchange students.

11
5. EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

5.1 Profile

The Exchange Programme is a third-year undergraduate programme taught entirely in


English. It is designed for foreign students who take part in exchange projects with
one of the Arnhem Business School‟s many partner institutions. As the Exchange
Programme is part of the single student‟s study programme (s)he enrolled for with
his/her own university or business school, it does not lead to a degree itself. The
Exchange Programme thus can be perceived as an extended part of the various
relevant programmes of the participants‟ institutions.
A wide field of subjects is covered by the modules on offer in the programme; the
subjects focus mainly on the following fields of interest: international business and
management, marketing, corporate communication,, finance, human resources,
quality management, distribution and logistics

5.2 Duration

The Exchange Programme is offered in two semesters; semester 1 (from the end of
August until January), and semester 2 (from end of January until July). Exchange
students should contact the officer responsible for exchange projects at their home
institution to find out which semester(s) they can study at Arnhem Business School.

Please be aware that the first semester will run into January, which means that exams
will be scheduled after the Christmas holidays. Students should take this into account
when planning their stay.

5.3 General Position within Arnhem Business School

Within the Arnhem Business School‟s structure of study programmes, students who
have successfully completed four semesters, leave Arnhem Business School for one
semester of industrial placement and one semester of studying abroad. In most study
programmes taught in Dutch, the study abroad is an opportunity on a voluntary basis.
For students taught in English, studying abroad is (mostly) compulsory. Students of
the different Arnhem Business School‟s English study programmes are sent to our
various partner institutions. In return, we offer their students courses on third-year
level of relevant business subjects taught in English. Students taking part in the
Exchange Programme are therefore required to have studied business subjects for two
years. They are also expected to have a sufficient level of English (equivalent to
IELTS 6.5).

5.4 Regulations

As the Exchange Programme is part of the study programme, the individual students
are enrolled at their home institution and the students remain covered by the general
regulations of the home institution concerned.
For Arnhem Business School's regulations concerning the more practical aspects
applying to exchange students, please consult the booklet "Arnhem Business School's
Regulations for Education and Finals". Copies of this booklet will be available at the
12
beginning of the academic year. Alternatively you can also ask the Exchange
Programme Coordinator for further explanation on exam results and compensation.

5.5 Application

Exchange students should contact the officer responsible for exchange projects at their
home institution who can inform them on the selection procedure applied by the
sending institution, hand out the Arnhem Business School‟s set of Exchange
Programme enrolment forms and give further information and advice.
The set of Exchange Programme enrolment forms - together with the additional
documents - should be returned to Arnhem Business School‟s International Office by
set dates:
For applications for semester 1: 1st June
For applications for semester 2: 1st December

*) Official end date

5.7 Support

Arnhem Business School is very much concerned about high-quality education and
has established various methods for supporting, guiding and supervising (from a
distance) its own students at their industrial placements and/or during their study
abroad. We recognise that a precondition for integrating a study abroad period into the
set-up of a study programme is a reliable structure of support and guidance.
Therefore, Arnhem Business School has chosen to provide its guest students with an
Exchange Programme Coordinator and her assistant. They take care of the educational
part of the Exchange Programme students‟ stay in Arnhem. For the various other
items concerned with a stay abroad, such as accommodation or visa, our International
Office can help the incoming students. Every year some enthusiastic students of
Arnhem Business School organise an introduction week for the new Exchange
students. Information on this introduction week will be sent to you in June (1st
semester students) and in December (2nd semester students) Alternatively, you can
contact the Exchange Programme Coordinator or her assistant on this matter.
13
5.8 Modules, Grades, and Credits

In the organisation of its study programmes, Arnhem Business School uses the term
„module‟. Most modules are either 7.5 or 15 ECTS (European Credits).
For detailed information on the distribution of modules over the semesters and
periods, please consult the overview on the programme available for Exchange
Programme students.

As a module may consist of a variety of educational activities, it may consist of


several assessments. These are described and explained in the module descriptions.
Also your lecturers can inform you on the specific details of their modules.

IBMS Exchange Programme students will be awarded credits by the Arnhem


Business School for each module with a weighted average of 55 or more. Only scores
of 40 or more will be taken into account for the weighted average. Some assessments
may need to be 55 or more. If this is the case, this will be specified in the module
description.
Please note that you will only be awarded credits if the weighted average of a module
is 55 or more, all requirements have been met and all assessments have been
completed. If the weighted average is less than 55 or if there are scores below 40,
credits will not be awarded and the average will not be shown in the grade list (the
results for each of the assessments will be shown).

5.9 Documents

When it comes to integrating a study abroad period into a study programme,


formalities beyond regulations are to be taken into account. This handbook and the
booklet „Arnhem Business School‟s Regulations for Education and Finals‟ are also
the official legal basis for every student in the Exchange programme.

After completion of his/her total study period at Arnhem Business School, the
Exchange student will be provided with a general certificate, certifying the student
having studied the appropriate period at Arnhem Business School, and grade list.
These documents are sent to the coordinators at the partner institutions, where the
information will be transferred. At this stage, the home institution will decide about
actually allocating the credits. All transactions will be carried out according to the
regulations of the home institution, taking into account Arnhem Business School‟s
documents for providing the necessary information. Grade lists are sent out in
February (for the 1st semester) and in July (for the 2nd semester).

5.10 Exams, Re-sits, and Reviews

Some assessments are taken during the lectures. As the calendar for the academic year
shows, there are special exam weeks, which follow each lecture period. Especially the
written exams are to be planned during these weeks. The consequence of being able to
choose from a large variety of modules is that IBMS Exchange students will
sometimes have to sit more exams at the same day, whereas on other days they are
free.
14
Written exams will not only take place at the Arnhem Business School‟s location, but
sometimes also at special exam locations. Details of the schedules and locations are
published in time on the exam publication board, which - in the last lecture week of
the period and during the exam weeks - should be checked each day for up-to-date
information. All information is also published on HANInsite.

All students of Arnhem Business School must enrol for exams via HAN-SIS
(Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen Student Information System). Exchange
students are enrolled automatically but are themselves responsible for checking this
automatic enrolment. Also regularly check the notice-board for details on the
enrolment periods. Your Exchange Programme Coordinator will inform you on these
procedures prior to the exam periods.

If there are any problems with your enrolment or if you want to enrol for an exam
which is not on your list, please contact the Exchange Programme Coordinator.
IMPORTANT : If you are not enrolled you cannot sit exams so always check
well in advance!!!

If an exchange student has obtained a grade which - according to the Arnhem


Business School‟s regulations - is regarded a „fail‟ (all grades below 5.5, that is: 55
points), there are different possibilities for proceeding further. Generally, the home
institution will provide an alternative exam or other assignment to be taken after the
student has returned.
You also have the chance to re-sit your exam: you are only allowed two enrolments
for an exam per year!
Detailed information on assessments can be provided by the Exchange Programme
coordinator.

It will not be possible to re-sit exams of Arnhem Business School at the student’s
home institution.
It is not possible to take exams from the home institution at Arnhem Business
School.

Please note that according to the Arnhem Business School‟s Regulations for
Education and Finals, the last grade stands. This means that, if you obtain a lower
grade for a re-sit, that last grade will then be documented on the list of grades.

After the written exams have been evaluated by the lecturers concerned (within four
weeks), reviews are held on a specific date and time. Only on this occasion students
have the opportunity to inspect their work and learn from their mistakes. If an exam is
graded by allocating points to single (parts of) assignments, it is allowed to check the
lecturer‟s calculation. In case the student notices a mistake or disagrees with the
marking of his work, he can protest by filling in a form. The form and the biro in a
certain colour will be provided by the invigilator of the review session.
The student can also protest if he disagrees with the evaluation of his own work.

15
5.11 Arrival at Arnhem Business School

Students are expected to inform the introduction group students well in time about the
time of their arrival, and about changes which might occur during their journey. In
most cases, the students will receive the keys for their rooms from the housing
agency. When planning the journey, students should bear in mind, that the housing
agency office is open during office hours only (Monday through Friday between
08:30 and 17:00). Students arriving on times when the office is closed will have to
arrange accommodation themselves.

In order to introduce the school and the proceedings to our new guest students, the
Exchange Programme has an introduction period. It is of the utmost importance to
take part in this introduction, as it cannot be repeated for single students later.

Students are strongly advised to arrive in time i.e. make arrangements to arrive on the
official ARRIVAL DAY. If you arrive on this day, our introduction group students
will meet you on your arrival at the railway station and help take you to your room.
Students have to arrive in Arnhem to join the lectures no later than in the second
week. This means, that students must have arrived and discussed their programme
with the Exchange Programme coordinator by the end of the first lecture week at
the latest.

5.12 Literature and Course Materials

Students of Arnhem Business School are themselves responsible for purchasing the
material needed. „Dekker vd Vegt‟
our students. Dekker vd Vegt is located at the HTS building on the campus. Detailed
information will be provided at the introduction. You can also purchase your study
books via internet (www.bol.com).
Readers/syllabi needed for certain modules can be bought at Arnhem Business
School‟s shop.

5.13 Medical Information

Students coming to Arnhem Business School have to make sure they are properly
insured. The alien police might ask for proof. In case a student‟s insurance company
does not provide help when a student stays in the Netherlands for a longer period,
students can also get insured in Arnhem with one of the companies offering special
packages to students. Please consult the International Office for detailed
information.
When students have moved to the room they will stay in for the period of their stay
in Arnhem, they should register with a general practitioner in the neighbourhood.
Practitioners in the Netherlands are often bound in contracts to a certain amount of
patients in a certain area they are allowed to accept. If a person is not registered as a
patient, he will have to turn to the First Aid department (EHBO) at either hospital in
Arnhem or Velp. If a specialist has to be consulted, it is good to know that these
doctors practise only in hospitals. The reception of the hospital‟s polyclinic should
be contacted for appointments.

16
5.14 Disenrolment from Arnhem Business School

When a student plans to leave Arnhem Business School because he does not intend
to continue his studies, or because the period of studying abroad has come to an end,
the following procedure has to be followed:

inform the Exchange Programme coordinator about departure if you leave before
the end of the study abroad period;
make sure the rent and other arrears are paid;
make arrangements for the final check of the room with the housing agency
(Vivare);
return all books to the library;
if there still is money on the student card please go to reception to get a refund.

5.15 Procedures for registering for modules at Arnhem Business School

In the academic year 2010/2011 Arnhem Business School offers the exchange
students a choice between a number of modules (see the module descriptions for more
information). Students are advised a study load of 30 ECTS (credits) while with us
and they will also have to register for their choice of modules by 1st June 2010 (for 1st
semester students) or 1st December 2010 (for 2nd semester students) to be sure of a
place in the modules of their choice. using the “Module Preference Form Exchange
Students”. This is to help our administration and to make it easier for students upon
their arrival.

STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION FORM FOR THEIR


CHOICE OF MODULES AND RETURN THIS TO THE INTERNATIONAL
OFFICE AT ARNHEM BEFORE 1st JUNE 2010. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY
LEAD TO THE STUDENT HAVING A MORE LIMITED CHOICE OF MODULES
AVAILABLE TO HIM/HER UPON ARRIVAL (2ndsemester students: before 1st
December 2010).

Structure of Programme

The exchange programme at Arnhem Business School is available in 2 semesters.


Each semester is split into two teaching periods.
During the period(s) students can be assessed in a variety of ways, e.g. presentations,
reports, group work etc.
Some modules also require students to be assessed via a written exam. Each period
will be followed by exam weeks. The exact assessment method will be explained by
your lecturer.
A student is advised to follow a package of modules per semester that amounts to a
total of 30 ECTS (credits) but the home university has the final say in this. We advise
students to choose 6 modules and indicate their preference using 1 – 6 (1 meaning
highest preference) so that alternatives are taken into account in case of
oversubscription, clashes or overlaps.

EBP BPT1D: BUSINESS PERFORMANCE TOOLS

Module code EBP BPT1D


Module name Business Performance Tools
Number of EC 7.5

Objectives/General Introduction
The programme Business Performance Tools teaches students how organizations and its people can achieve a
better performance. The course is based upon the concept that organizations continuously have to change in
order to stay competitive and to bring added value to their clients. The course is an integration of both
financial and non-financial factors that can be decisive for the success of both companies and not-for profit
organizations.

The course is built on the basis of the performance improvement cycle, and introduces the Balanced Score
Card, one of the tried and trusted methods to translate strategy into practical, measurable objectives. It gives
insight into (corporate) trends and tools that are used by organizations in their response to both external
(market) and internal (organizational and human) changes. It highlights the organizational and personal
learning process. Thus, the course provides students (more) insight into trends, tools and instruments
companies and organizations can use in their permanent learning process to stay competitive.

In parallel, students gain insight in their own personal performance, their role in a team and behavioural
opportunities for improvement.

Topics
The starting point of the course will be the different strategy processes and forms companies and
organizations can follow. Once the strategy has been chosen, structures and tools are to be implemented in
order to monitor the whole process and to make the strategy into a success. Success will only be achieved if
both the organization and its people are willing to learn and to change.

Items covered are:


Forms of strategy and the strategy-decision process
Business ethics
Analysis of competitive position
Organizational models and structures
Management information systems and dash boards to stay in control (e.g. BSC,)
Organizational and human aspects of a constantly changing organization
Different roles in a team
Team- and personal performance assessment
Quality management and procedure
An introduction to negotiation

Learning methods
In weekly classes the main topics are interactively discussed. Theory will be supported by real case
(corporate) examples.

Following (further) self study intermediate assignments are to be made using both the theory and the case
examples for specific practical descriptions and solutions. All assignments and cases are done by teams
consisting of 5 to 6 members.

In the final assignment all items will be integrated by designing a virtual Balanced Score Card for a publicly
traded company.

26
Assessment

The (main part of) intermediate cases will be graded. Peer assessments and the individual performance of
students during (assignment) presentations will be added to the team grades in order to give each student his
or her final individual grade.

EDC DCL1A: DUTCH CULTURE, LANGUAGE and SOCIETY

Module code EDC DCL1A


Module name Dutch culture, language and society
Number of EC 7.5

Objectives
The course offers you basic knowledge and skills, enabling you to communicate with fellow students in Dutch
at a basic level. Since the focus is on the communicative aspects, special attention is paid to oral and listening
proficiency training. The grammar is explained in English, but the lecturers use Dutch when possible, so in a
few weeks' time you will have less problems understanding what is being said to you (and about you!)
The language is one thing but the Dutch way of life can be an eye opener as well. The Dutch way of life, the
history, the special products (“hagelslag”, “drop”, “stroopwafels”), the water(management), the people and
their values, don‟t miss it while you are here!

Topics
When in the Netherlands: do as the Dutch do. Going to the grocer‟s, picking up a pound of cheese, two packs
of milk, a chocolate bar, vegetables and meat will be just as easy for you as ordering a cup of coffee or
something stronger in one of Arnhem' s bars. During the course you not only get to know basic Dutch in
speech and writing, but you also learn a lot about the Dutch way of living. You get to understand a little about
Dutch customs, like for example "gezelligheid", “open gordijnen”, “ koffie drinken” and the typical
breakfast, lunch, dinner. We also pay attention to social events like for example "verjaardagen" and national
holidays like "Sinterklaas", “koninginnedag”. The Dutch treat is “world famous”, but do the Dutch really
always“ go Dutch”? And what does “poldermodel” en “prinsjesdag” mean, when you are discussing politics?

Learning methods:
A handbook and a workbook (Taal Vitaal) containing wordlists, exercises, grammar and culture aspects;
Cultural topic presentations by lecturer and students;
Conversations (in Dutch) about the Dutch way of life;
Pop songs;
Short trips (for example: cheese shop, windmill, Open Air Museum).

Everything is used in learning this exciting language and getting to know this country!

Module name Event Management
Number of EC 7.5

Objectives:
This 12 week module will increase students‟ professionalism in planning and organising events in groups on
the topics mentioned below.

Topics:
- Co-operation in international groups
- Plan and planning & Logistics
- Sponsoring
- PR
- Finance
- Branding

Learning methods:
In the first week you will meet your student colleagues during tutor hours. You will have to make
internationally diverse groups and choose your event. There will be different sorts of events, for instance
sports, charity, PR and congress events. Every event has its own client who will be contact person for your
group. This client has expectations and material which can help you to define your event.
In your group you will start to work as an independent project group, which means that you have to
take initiative in your group, have meetings and meeting minutes, communicate with your client,
lecturers, sponsors and other parties involved. You are highly dependent on your student colleagues in
your group, so you are also expected to involve yourself and your other team members!
All the groups will be coached by a tutor in the process of co-operation, intercultural differences, meeting
skills, conflict management and distribution of tasks. The tutor will be present during tutor hours every week,
the whole semester (see EET-ETU1A in your schedule and helps you to define problems and find solutions in
group work. Remind that you are the ones who have to solve your problems.
During the first block, you will get expert support by guest lecturers (see EEV-EVE1A in your schedule). All
students have to attend the five supporting guest lectures, given by guest lecturers specialised in different
fields of knowledge. Guest lecturers link their expertise with important aspects of organising events. During
the lecture, the guest lecturer gives your group a group assignment, linked to your own event, which you have
to finish in two weeks. You have to hand in the assignment with the guest lecturer and he/she will give you
feedback. If you have a sufficient, you do not have to improve your assignment. If it is insufficient you have
to use the feedback to hand in an improved version within two weeks again.

Assessments:

For finishing the course, you have to organise and implement a real event, make a group portfolio and have a
group assessment. If you can not implement your event, you have to carry out the assignment for an
imaginary event and explain what went wrong. We think you can learn a lot from success, but also from
failure.

Module code EFI FIE1B


Module name Finance
Number of EC 7.5

Objectives/General Introduction
This programme teaches students to manage and evaluate companies and organisations from a financial
perspective. The module is built along the principle that a company can be considered as an investment. The
course gives insight into the public and private capital- and money markets as well as how companies organise
their relationship with potential investors.
The course will give insight into the relevant forms of financing. It will address why different financial

EOR ORB1A: ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR

Module code EOR ORB1A


Module name Organizational Behaviour
Number of EC 7.5

General information/Objectives
The module Organizational Behaviour (ORB) is all about people‟s (students‟) behaviour and the influence of
their thoughts, emotions, their values and attitudes, their position and situation on that behaviour, partly
related to work, partly related to their actual situation in the learning group. Social Psychology and Work
Psychology, Sociology and Politics are the scientific resources for the theory of ORB. The actual behaviour of
the students in the lecture time, their experiences in work-related situations and cases and literature from the
professional field are our resources for the knowledge of the refractory practice.
Furthermore we see and treat the students as “knowing people” and we use their knowledge as well. We want
to keep the gap between what we are talking about and what we are doing during class as small as possible.
Therefore the activity of each student in class must be stimulated and guided in the direction of effective
organizational behaviour. Organizational Behaviour is not only a module to understand and learn to manage
the behaviour of other people, but also the behaviour of yourself.
Using these general ideas there is a possibility that we can integrate theory and practice, knowledge and skills
and, last but not least, other people and ourselves.

Objectives
- The module brings the students in touch with a broad account of key areas of work psychology,
sociology and politics in relation with ORB. They have to study, to analyse and to be critical of
(classic and contemporary) theories in the field of ORB.
- The students have developed their knowledge and skills about the challenges and opportunities to
apply ORB principles within organizations.
- The module generates insight into how individuals and groups impact the behaviour in organizations.
- The students have developed their skills to work with a work group / team as a team member as well
as a team leader.
- All students are being confronted with at least one difficulty in their behaviour that hinders them in
effective (organizational) behaviour. All students have the experience to overcome more or less such
kind of obstacle.

Topics
In ORB the student is, among other things, developing the following competences:
- The ability to apply relevant scientific insights, theories and concepts, to combine several subjects to
gather information and draw conclusions in a methodical and reflective manner.
- The ability to plan, manage, control and evaluate personal work activities and group work in
projects.
The ability to make use of relevant techniques to monitor his own performance.
- The ability to lead discussions, express his ideas, make proposals and give stimulating presentations.
The ability to make proper use of presentations techniques and audio-visual aids.
- The ability to take initiative and leading role within a team in order to reach a defined goal.
The ability to actively contribute to a group product or result.
- The ability to explain the differences between national, organizational and occupational cultures and
to outline strategies for adapting to these differences in e.g. human resources management, marketing
and intercultural communication.
The student can identify the relevant dimensions of cultures and has developed self-awareness of his
own cultural background.

Subjects:
- Values and personal characteristics
- Communication
- Perception and decision-making
- Motivation

40
- Group Behaviour
- Conflict and negotiation
- Organizational Culture
- Change Management

Learning methods:
We try to integrate theory and practice in our lectures. It is very important that future students know that our
learning method not only needs an intellectual effort, but an emotional effort as well.
We appeal to the student‟s creativity, flexibility, responsibility and commitment with what is happening
during class. Starting from the idea that the class-situation is a kind of laboratory to exercise organizational
behaviour.
Furthermore we handle:
- a challenging and accessible course book with many features to support the learning process
- weekly presentations by the students with a two-way activity programme
- cases and assignments
- (panel) discussions
- games and exercises
To keep the quality of education high, to encourage group cohesiveness and to minimize social loafing the
group size with which we work is no more than 18 students.

Assessments:
A. In each lesson the presenting students will assess their fellow-students. The lecturer takes all the
remarks into consideration and finally gives a mark.
Points of attention:
-choice of subjects; -clear and “to the point” (compact) explanation; -usage of a.v. aids (beamer,
overhead, etc.); -the use of own words/comprehensible language; -giving (daily-life) examples out of
own experiences; -interaction with the audience; -asking specific questions to the audience; -
answering questions; -originality; -attitude; -gestures; -voice impression.
B. A two-hour multiple-choice exam consisting of 40 questions (10 right answers 10 points/ 40 right
answers 100 points).

website. If you do not receive this e-mail within a week after your registration, please

making the payment make sure to mention your VIV Number and also take into account
that it may take up to 10 days for your payment to be received by Vivare.
